Change “Turkish people or Turks (Turkish: Türkler) are a Turkic people who speak various dialects of the Turkish language and form a majority in Turkey and Northern Cyprus.” to “ Turkish people or Turks (Turkish: Türkler) are a Turkic people who speak various dialects of the Turkish language and form a majority in Turkey.” “Northern Cyprus”, or the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” is not a country and should not be spoken about as such. 68.33.159.214 (talk) 15:28, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: That is not a legitimate reason to change the sentence. EvergreenFir (talk) 15:59, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

About Ak-Sika Claim

Ak-sika does not mean White Fortress in any Turkic languages. This theory claimed by Fahrettin Kırzıoğlu, his theories considered as Pseudo-Turcology in modern literature. His claims cover topics like Turkishness of Kurds, Hamshenian Armenians, Laz people and Georgians in Turkey. Rime (talk) 16:22, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remaking the infobox (just a suggestion)

I recommend a change to the info box of this page. Update it with the newest information available. Also instead of directing you to the country of where said Turks live, it should redirect to a Wikipedia page of specifically the Turks who live in that country. (Example clicking on Macedonia in the infobox should in my opinion show you Macedonian Turks and not just the country of North Macedonia.) BulgarianSemite (talk) 19:50, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

could you also update the 'religion' in the infobox? it clearly negates the christian turks (like Autocephalous Turkish Orthodox Patriarchate or protestants)83.9.115.168 (talk) 01:17, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
